REMINDERS TO DEMOCRATS.

Mr. Democrat, we want to call
your attention to what you so soon
forgot few years ago. You prom
ised not to disturb a debt settle
ment which had been declared con-
stitntional by s TO l OF the U. 5.
Supreme court. You forgot it, and
enacted measures which carried the
question back into that court with a
decision against you which has been
a Pandora's box to our state. Un-
der your laws the coupon was re-
vived and our revenues absorbed,
until now we are little better of
than when you surrendered the
state government in 1879. You
have seen your AttOrneyGeneral
and Commonwealth's Attorneys
confined IN Jail for daring to exc
cute your laws. BY reason of your
laws you have seen Virginia hu-
inflated and on Bonded knees be-
fore the bar of a L. S. Circuit
court, presided over by the most
tyraunical creature who ever bore
the title of Judge ia Virgin.
Seeing the errors OF your ways
we hope, you reassembled at Roam
oke last summer, when you did pen
ance and renewed your VOWS, with
solemuity, that you would never do
so agar. The people have believed
you again. We are sorry they did.
We are afraid of you, and will be
till you show your sincerity bv your
actions.
We beg you to read the opinion
ofChief Justice Waite and the opin-
ions OF Justice Matthews, especial.
~ the concluding clauses of both,
then repeal your acts of March and
May. 1856. This will place the state
exactly where she was IN respect to
the coupon killers. Do not, we beg
you, dicker with brokers, their
agents or attorneys. Do not, we
beseech you. inylte any more con-
ferences of foreign bondbOlders to
visit you with a promise on their
lips and a flaming sword in their
hands. Go on and do the work
that is set before you. Fulfill your
promises to the letter, aud we will
once more see Virginia a thriving
state, vieing 10 friendly competition
with her sisters for the promotion
of her industrial and educational
interests. Remember all the time
that education is as essential 10 the
greatness of State as it IS to the
individual. Last, but not least, re-
quest Virginia's Representatives In
Congress to urge the Impeachment
of Bond.

THE LATE ELECTIONS.

Wefrequently heard on the streets
last week: "Why don't we cele-
brateso But the cooler heads an
swered with a sly wink, as much as
to say, keep quiet on that, boys.
The reason "we don't celebrate
bows is because there is nothing for
Democracy to rejoice over. The
Democrats carried no doubtful
state, and Virginia and Maryland
about divided last years majorities
by two. The governor of Ohio who
preceded Foraker was a Democrat.
Foraker has been reelected by 80
coo majority. The whole column
of Republican states increased their
maiorities, aud the aggregate OF the
popular vote is such as to insure the
election of Republican president
next fall, unless the present admin
istration can perform some miracle
10 counterfeit the revolution In pub
lie sentiment. Rhode Island went
Democratic at her election last be-
fore this, and shouts rent the air
That was merely her trial trip
This time she reversed herselfamaz'
ingly. True, she is "little,' but this
time she is certainly could BY
electiug her congressman, she gives
the Republicans a majority oil the
states in the House, so that II the
election of president should de-
pend upon the House, he must be
a Republican. And this is not i'm
probable in view of the number oil
organizations and probable candl'
dates next fall. It has happened
40 before, and is now likely to hap
peu again.
Besides this the last hope of even
tieing the Senate has gone from the
Democracy. New Jersey went Re-
publican, aud will therefore elect a
Republican Senator to succeed a
Democrat, Mcpherson. The state
turned a complete sOmersault.-
This neutrallzes the result in VIZ
einia. The Democrats lost, and
the Republicans recovered two
states. This is why it IS not a
good time to celebrate.

Mr.. CONELING'S SPEECH CRITICIZED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-In the
United States Supreme Court this
afternoon, Mr.. John Randolph
Tucker concluded the argument
IN behalf OF the petitioners in the
Virginia habeas corpus proceed
ings, and the court took the case
INTO adviSement.
The Star tonight, in speaking of
ex-senator Conkling's argument
yesterday in behalf Of the State OF
Virginia in this case, says: "The
argument of ex-senator COnkling
was a decided disappointment to
the Virginia people. He was paid
a large fee-it is said S10,000-for
his appearance. In regard to Mr..
Conkling's argument, there seems
to be no difference OF opinion, or Of
expression, at least, among those
who have taken so much interest
in behalf of the Virginia officials
who have been committed for con-
tempt. 1t seems 10 have been ex-
pected that Mr.. Conkling would
make one of his greatest efforts I;
that he would put himself on record
before the court as maintaining
that the sovereignty Of a state
could or should not be invaded.
Instead of that, Mr.. COnkling de.
livered very mild and nOn.com.
initial speech. lie did not lay down
any affirmative legal propositions,
but usually quoted his clients. In
making his strongest points, it is
said, Mr.. Conklng would say, My
clients affirm TINS and so, or the
petition alleges so and so. There
IS no cOnceaIment of the disappoint
ment at the ex.senatoTs argument,
and some say that he was not will
ing to put himself on record in ia.
vor of anything like states rights,
because he fearei that it might
arise against him hereafter"

A House Burned 10 Get The Insurance.

The Raleigh. N. c., correspon
dent of the Richmond Dispatch
says that a house in Pitt county,
n. C., in which negro named
George Williams was asleep, was
fired and burned. Williams was
not awakened until the roof of the
house fell in on him. When he
got ont OF the building he was so
terribly burned that he died in a
few hours. Suspicion rests on Es-
seek Best, another negro. lie was
arrested and made a full confession.
He said that Godfrey Elks, a white
man, hired him to do it. The
house belonged TO Elks and was
insured. Elks desired to obtain
the insurance. Best declared that
he thought Williams was absent
at the time he fred the house.
ElKs and Williams are both under
arrest and in Jail.

TROUBLE At POCAHOATAS.
ORDERED FROM LYNCH
BURG-THEIR SERVICES NOT
NEEDED.

LYNCHBURG, VA, Nov. r.
Great excitement was created in
this city to day by a telegram from
the mayor of POcahontas, to Mayor
Manson, asking that a detachment
Of troops be sent to that town TO
aid in quelling a riot there. The
town bell was rung, and by nine
O'Clock the military had assembled.
! A special train was provided by
the Norfolk and Western Railroad
officials, and at ten o'clock the en-
CINE steamed out of the depot, en-
route to the scene OF the supposed
conflict. All day long the people
here waited for some startling de-
velOpments, but no advlces came
until late this evening, which rep
resented the whole affair as of but
little consequence. Itappears that
the colored and the white miners
at that place objected to the EN-
plOyment Of Hungarians, but their
demands were not conceded by the
operators, whereupon they threat
ened to attack the Hungarians and
drive them from this mines. The
onler for the military was simply a
precautionary measure. No trOu'
BILE has been reported, and the III
dicati0ns are that there will be
none.
POCAHONTAs, VA, Nov. 14.-All
is quiet and no disturbance has oc-
Cured OF a serious nature since
the troops arrived. The military
escorted the Hungarian miners TO
the mines this morning and they
weat to work quietly as usual.
But very few threats are heard on
the part of the strikers, and it is
thought all trouble is past. Yes.
terday evening the ringleaders OF

THE DEMOCRACY AND THE DEBT.

If the elections just over in this
State settled any one question more
eilectually than another, 1t is the
position Of the Democratic party
in regard to the State debt. For
the third time the party went before
the people on the distinct Issue,
squarely and emphatlcally present
ed, that il acquiesced in the terms
of the Riddleberger settlement,
and would never support any meas
ure which will impose a larger
liability upon this Commonwealth
than that recognized and provided
for 10y that measure, and for She
third time the people have approx
ed and ratified that declaration in
the most emphatic and unmistaka-
bic manner. Here is the public
debt plank in the platform adopted
Ivy the Democratic convention at
Roanoke last August, and words
could not make it more pointed or
uneqnlyOcal in its terms:
THE PUBLIC DEBT.
Fourth. We approve the action
of the last General Assembly at its
extra session in 1887 in refusing to
accept the terms proposed by the
bOndhOlders in connection with a
settlement of the public debt. The
Democratic party will never sup
port or sanction any adjustment of
the debt which VIII impose a larger
habiliy upon this Commonwealth
than that recognized and provided
for by the Riddleberger bill; and
we pledge the party to enact all
laws necessary to render the said
settlement effective, final, and de-
cisive.
Now. in view of those two dis
tinct pledges-"Nerer to support On
sanction any adjustment Of the debt
rhich wiH impose q larger liability
upon this Commonwealth than that
recognized and prOriled for by thu
RiddIcberger bW," and "tO enact al
IdIcs necessary to render the said
settlement c6ectre, fndl, and deci
sire"-which the people have APP
proved and ratified by electing an
overwhelming majority Of Demo
Gratis to both branches Of the Legis
lature, there can be no doubt in
any honest or sane mind as to the
position of the party on that ques
ton. Indeed, it is gross insult
to the Democratic members of the
legislature to intimate that they
can be so lost to all sense Of honor
or shame as to violate such bind
ing obligation-an obligation vol
untarily assumed by themselves
when they accepted the Democratic
nomination, and solemnly and con
lidingly imposed upon them by the
people in voting for them. Were
they TO do so they would be donDly
faithless-.to their own honor and
to the people.
The above is a portion of "a LONG
article from that Democratic jour
nal, the Richmond Wing, and We
commend it to the careful reading
of our Democratic representatives.
